With the completion of the inpatient wing, Wake Forest Baptist Health - Davie Medical Center today kept a promise it made to the residents of Davie County a long time ago.
“When we first proposed this new hospital, it was always our intent to have an inpatient wing so that people in Davie County could receive care and treatment close to home,” said John D. McConnell, M.D., CEO, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. “Today marks the fulfillment of that commitment we made to the citizens of Davie County nine years ago.”
LUC was first appointed by The Royal Parks in 2010 to design a cross country jump as part of the Olympic Equestrian event to be held in the Park in 2012. The jump was also to act as a play piece Post Games as a legacy and thanks for holding the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic events in the Park.
The success of this first phase of work enabled further funding to be allocated for improvement works to the rest of the playground, which began with development of a Masterplan and a strategy for delivering future phases of work. A design concept was developed, based on a ‘Pioneering’ theme to reflect Greenwich’s history as the starting place for explorers to sail out and discover the new world.
The third phase of work sought to implement the next stage of this vision Masterplan and to continue the approach towards a more natural play based area that better integrates into the setting of the Park. Numerous old pieces of play equipment nearing the end of their lifespan were also replaced. The completed third phase is comprised of a series of open areas for social and competitive play, with more intimate spaces offering a sense of exploration and discovery.
LUC hopes to continue the playground refurbishment works into a fourth phase of work, which will also look to improve the relationship between the playground and the boating lake, completing the enhancement of this northern quarter of Greenwich Park.

Address Jakubské Square
St. James Church is a late Gothic three-nave church situated in the Jakubské square in Brno- Brno center, whose history dates back to the early 13th century. In 1995 the church was declared a national cultural monument. In the church is the tomb of the famous defender of Brno Louise Raduit. On the ceiling of the church are a number of guild characters, coats of arms of noble families and several monograms.
History
Church in 1828
At the time of its founding, the church was mainly intended for the German population that settled around present-day Běhounska street. Foundation of the church is expected in the period, which is defined by the reign of Vladislav Henry, between the years 1201 to 1222. Was in 1340 in the basement of the house next door, which the church before his death bequeathed the local vicar, established ossuary. At this time, documented cemetery around the church, which was in the next ten years gradually expanded. From 1368 to 1405 around the church have been established several chapels (Corpus Christi, St. Maurice and St. Ursula), which created a special urban complex.
Construction
Construction of the church, in the form in which it is known that certain amendments to the present day, had already begun before the Hussite wars, but the construction has progressed only to the position of the choir, pillars and perimeter walls. From 1502 he began work on the church builder Anton Pilgram, who founded the northern ship with the portal . Roofing was done probably before 1530. The construction of the church tower began in the 16th century, in 1592 it was increased by A. Gabrie of the clock and completion did Simon Tauch, who put the tower Renaissance dome. The height of the tower is 92 meters. During the Thirty Years' War, the church was not damaged and therefore there was no need to rebuild the church - helping to maintain his predominantly late-Gothic appearance.
The cemetery which was located around the church, has been around since 1784, and with it gradually disappeared also the complex above the chapel. From the church were subsequently moved several tombstones, and currently there are six. Church without prejudice to the Baroque style. In 1878 the church was done insensitively regothization. In the years 1900 - 1901 was the neo-Gothic parish church designed by Alois Prastorfem and Germans Wanderleym .

I managed to sneak in a visit to Hardwick Hall before it was forced to close for the November lockdown. Wednesday 4th November 2020. It’s one of the grandest and most important Elizabethan country houses and it’s actually changed very little since that period.
Hardwick Hall was built between 1590 and 1597 (while the adjacent Hardwick Old Hall was still being constructed!) for Bess of Hardwick, and was designed by the architect Robert Smythson. Bess was born in 1527 and through a series of well-made marriages, she rose to the highest levels of English nobility and became enormously wealthy. She was a shrewd business woman, increasing her assets with business interests including mines and glass-making workshops. Already owning Chatsworth House, Bess of Hardwick was the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I and she wanted a grander house to reflect that (it contains one of the largest long galleries in any English house - pictures of that to follow!). The house was very modern for its time and contained a lot of glass windows in a period when glass was seen as something of a luxury.
After Bess's death in 1608, the house passed to her son William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire, and subsequent Dukes preferred Chatsworth over Hardwick. As a secondary home, Hardwick escaped the attention of modernisers and thankfully received few alterations after its completion. In 1950, the unexpected death of the 10th Duke of Devonshire, with the subsequent death duties (rated at 80%), caused the sale of many of the Devonshire assets and estates. Hardwick was handed over to HM Treasury in lieu of Estate Duty in 1956 and the estate was transferred to the National Trust in 1959.
In recent years Hardwick Hall was used to film the exterior scenes and interior scenes of Malfoy Manor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
Originally dating to around 1320, the building is important because it has most of its original features; successive owners effected relatively few changes to the main structure, after the completion of the quadrangle with a new chapel in the 16th century. Pevsner described it as "the most complete small medieval manor house in the county", and it remains an example that shows how such houses would have looked in the Middle Ages. Unlike most courtyard houses of its type, which have had a range demolished, so that the house looks outward, Nicholas Cooper observes that Ightham Mote wholly surrounds its courtyard and looks inward, into it, offering little information externally.[9] The construction is of "Kentish ragstone and dull red brick,"[10] the buildings of the courtyard having originally been built of timber and subsequently rebuilt in stone.[11]
The moat of Ightham Mote
The house has more than 70 rooms, all arranged around a central courtyard, "the confines circumscribed by the moat."[10] The house is surrounded on all sides by a square moat, crossed by three bridges. The earliest surviving evidence is for a house of the early 14th century, with the great hall, to which were attached, at the high, or dais end, the chapel, crypt and two solars. The courtyard was completely enclosed by increments on its restricted moated site, and the battlemented tower was constructed in the 15th century. Very little of the 14th century survives on the exterior behind rebuilding and refacing of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The structures include unusual and distinctive elements, such as the porter's squint, a narrow slit in the wall designed to enable a gatekeeper to examine a visitor's credentials before opening the gate. An open loggia with a fifteenth-century gallery above, connects the main accommodations with the gatehouse range. The courtyard contains a large, 19th century dog kennel.[12] The house contains two chapels; the New Chapel, of c.1520, having a barrel roof decorated with Tudor roses. [13] Parts of the interior were remodelled by Richard Norman Shaw.[14] wikipedia
16th century-late 19th century
The house remained in the Selby family for nearly 300 years.[3] Sir William was succeeded by his nephew, also Sir William, who is notable for handing over the keys of Berwick-upon-Tweed to James I on his way south to succeed to the throne.[4] He married Dorothy Bonham of West Malling but had no children. The Selbys continued until the mid-19th century when the line faltered with Elizabeth Selby, the widow of a Thomas who disinherited his only son.[5] During her reclusive tenure, Joseph Nash drew the house for his multi-volume illustrated history Mansions of England in the Olden Time, published in the 1840s.[6] The house passed to a cousin, Prideaux John Selby, a distinguished naturalist, sportsman and scientist. On his death in 1867, he left Ightham Mote to a daughter, Mrs Lewis Marianne Bigge. Her second husband, Robert Luard, changed his name to Luard-Selby. Ightham Mote was rented-out in 1887 to American Railroad magnate William Jackson Palmer and his family. For three years Ightham Mote became a centre for the artists and writers of the Aesthetic Movement with visitors including John Singer Sargent, Henry James, and Ellen Terry. When Mrs Bigge died in 1889, the executors of her son Charles Selby-Bigge, a Shropshire land agent, put the house up for sale in July 1889.[6]
Late 19th century-21st century
The Mote was purchased by Thomas Colyer-Fergusson.[6] He and his wife brought up their six children at the Mote. In 1890-1891, he carried out much repair and restoration, which allowed the survival of the house after centuries of neglect.[7] Ightham Mote was opened to the public one afternoon a week in the early 20th century.[7]
Sir Thomas Colyer-Fergusson's third son, Riversdale, died aged 21 in 1917 in the Third Battle of Ypres, and won a posthumous Victoria Cross. A wooden cross in the New Chapel is in his memory. The oldest brother, Max, was killed at the age of 49 in a bombing raid on an army driving school near Tidworth in 1940 during World War II. One of the three daughters, Mary (called Polly) married Walter Monckton.
On Sir Thomas's death in 1951, the property and the baronetcy passed to Max's son, James. The high costs of upkeep and repair of the house led him to sell the house and auction most of the contents. The sale took place in October 1951 and lasted three days. It was suggested that the house be demolished to harvest the lead on the roofs, or that it be divided into flats. Three local men purchased the house: William Durling, John Goodwin and John Baldock. They paid £5,500 for the freehold, in the hope of being able to secure the future of the house.[8]
In 1953, Ightham Mote was purchased by Charles Henry Robinson, an American of Portland, Maine, United States. He had known the property when stationed nearby during the Second World War. He lived there for only fourteen weeks a year for tax reasons. He made many urgent repairs, and partly refurnished the house with 17th-century English pieces. In 1965, he announced that he would give Ightham Mote and its contents to the National Trust. He died in 1985 and his ashes were immured just outside the crypt. The National Trust took possession in that year.[8]
In 1989, the National Trust began an ambitious conservation project that involved dismantling much of the building and recording its construction methods before rebuilding it. During this process, the effects of centuries of ageing, weathering, and the destructive effect of the deathwatch beetle were highlighted. The project ended in 2004 after revealing numerous examples of structural and ornamental features which had been covered up by later additions.[1]

Crews pour concrete for a new barrier on I-5 in Fife, WA as part the SR 167 Completion Project.
The completion project extends SR 167 by 6 miles from its current end near Puyallup, WA out to SR 509 near the Port of Tacoma.
As part of the project, we need to realign Hylebos Creek into a new channel under I-5 so that it can continue its journey out to Tacoma's Commencement Bay. The creek will run parallel to much of the new expressway.
We built the inner portions of two new bridges on I-5 for the new creek channel. Before putting traffic back on the bridges, we needed to replace the median barrier.
The SR 167 Completion project, which is part of the Puget Sound Gateway Program, builds the new expressway in stages. The first 2-mile section adds a connection between I-5 and SR 509. Later stages will add the connection between SR 167’s current end in Puyallup and I-5.
